| | Cliff Richard Dressed For The Occasion CD - Import Cliff Richard Discography of CDs
Cliff Richard's sixth live album, originally released in 1983 (and coinciding with his 25th anniversary in music), is also his most ambitious, avoiding his early repertoire entirely and focusing on his career from the mid-'70s up through the early '80s, and offering the accompaniment of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, 60 pieces strong. Recorded live at Royal Albert Hall, it offered the Cliff Richard of "Green Light," "We Don't Talk Anymore," and "Devil Woman" in a bigger-than-life musical setting, his core band of the period -- including Mark Griffiths (bass), Dave Cooke (synthesizers), and Graham Jarvis (drums) -- augmented by more than two-dozen string players and the rest of the LPO, all conducted by Beatles/Paul McCartney veteran conductor/arranger Richard Hewson. The results are the most impressive of all of Richard's concert albums, at least as far as the sheer power of the singing and playing -- "We Don't Talk Anymore" as performed here could easily be in the running for the best recording ever done by Richard, and "Green Light" isn't far behind. His version of "True Love Ways" is also rather overpowering, his intonation and exquisite nuances, coupled with the most elegant accompaniment the song ever had (and remember that Buddy Holly also did it with an orchestra), making it one of the more finely realized renditions ever. Even numbers that were never that impressive before, such as "Galadriel (Spirit of Starlight)," offer a freshness and impact here that is memorable and, in the case of the latter song, ultimately quite haunting. The only flaw in the original LP was the pressing, which seemed to be a bit noisier than one was accustomed to getting from EMI, and also the relatively low volume utilized, partly due to the length of the LP. ~ Bruce Eder

Bon Jovi's 1984 debut not only became a blueprint for the band's multi-platinum releases of later years, but a definitive work for an entire genre. Though scores of short-lived pop-metal bands rocketed to popularity on the success of this release, the time-weathered BON JOVI continues to stand out from the pack.

Dressed For The Occasion
$13.15 Mark Donato - The Old Joy Mark Donato's second full-length CD, The Old Joy, speaks to the twisted heart of our times. In the evolving tradition of songwriter-performers such as Randy Newman and Ray Davies, Donato sets indelible short stories to music, and never forgets the power of pure pop. "You're always thirsty as you're leaving the house," he begins the record, "you think you know what it means." But of course you don't. In the bottomless "One Out of Three," a patient waits for a heart transplant, or maybe just a change of heart; both are slow in coming. Reggae twang melts into driving rock 'n' roll that flows into a heaven of pedal steel. If John Prine mud-wrestled Elvis Costello, the sounds they'd make might be something like this. Or maybe not. The Village Voice said this: "An unflinching yet sympathetic look at love, work, and memory, this wry singer-songwriter's appealing latest batch of songs, The Old Joy, is like an arm around your shoulder during hard ...
